I went S-off with first alpharev x beta. No problems at all, but I left my stock froyo rom. I noticed many people flashing coocked Roms encountered this issue. There is even a fix for this. Could it be something generated by custom roms?

Nope. Seems you are unaware of issue. The issue is small in my opinion. It is just after alpharevx s-off, formatting the phone will not load sense widgets and setup by default. But we can use then manually. Also HTC wallpapers and scenes will be missing. Wallpapers can be used if we have the picture files of them.
Just make a nandroid backup and format your phone to see it.
And I don't know whether it is due to alpharevx hboot or not. Because I don't know the technical aspects of it. And personally I don't think it is due to alpharevx hboot. If hboot has something to do with it, then why should be the old wildpuzzle Rom and Chinese froyo Rom HTCsetupwizzard.apk worked perfectly. And has anyone tried using setupwizzard.apk from any other official roms.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I actually noticed this as well, as soon as I got S-OFF without changing anything, Sense just stopped working properly. Glad you reminded me of that as I was gonna go back to it because CM7 is proving to be unstable in the long run. I might just try another rom though.

I am just curious will htc release 2.3 android for wildfire??? Anyone know???
Best regards
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Unlikely. But, this has officially neither been confirmed nor denied. Someone sent a mail to HTC, and, got a standard automated reply "We will notify you if we are providing 2.3 for Wildfire... bla bla bla"
Anyhow, as I said previously, in my personal opinion, it is unlikely. More so now, because the Wildfire S is out.
Good point there... I mean it is kind of strange that we have custom roms for wildfire based on gingerbread that work quite fine,and then we dont have original rom with gingerbread... and then stupidest move of all is to lock bootloader and all that malarky that makes froyo unrootable...
Am I right or wrong???

It's to force people to ditch their Wildfire and get their new line of phones. Simple and cold business logic.
why the hell do u need official gingerbread on ur wildfire. the official froyo for wildfire updated the bootloader and implemented greater security on the bootloader, so that no one knows whether it will be rooted or not. 4months of work without any result.
i dont want official gingerbread on my device. and i dont want any further security on my bootloader. need someone to root my wildfire.
the answer to ur question is wildfire is not getting any official gingerbread. the 3 network in UK has already confirmed that.
the reason is simple. wildfire s is releasing this may, which decreases the htc support to the original wildfire.

Hero wasn't a budget device but the Wildfire is.
HTC Tattoo for an example is still on 1.6.
Also HTC UK said on facebook, "Because of the capabilities of the wildfire we think its best for now to keep the wildfire on 2.2"
Which makes no sense, Gingerbread is even faster.

Err.... I did update to 2.2 official without changing my HBOOT. How? I waited for the modified version without the HBOOT image
I`ll gladly do the same for 2.3 official.

great news dude. it means that even u can still root ur froyo wildfire now. ur patience benefitted u. to be patient is what i learn frm u.
and where is that modified version of official froyo update. can u give me a download link of it.
i think the modified version definately has an updated radio, updated recovery image, and other updated things leaving the HBOOT unupdated. do u face any problems with this issue.
i think the modified update is OTA UPDATE zip file. and in that ota zip file, we will see firmware.zip .
the firmware .zip contains boot.img and HBOOT file
i think u replaced the boot.img and HBOOT with an older version eclair RUU. am i correct
creators of the modified version, pls let me know how u did that.
edit:
oh, sorry i got it.
so, u first had a rooted phone and then u made update with ROOTED OFFICIAL UPDATE.ZIP

No one has, because Gingerbread Sense does not boot on the Wildfire. Atleast yet.
Gingerbread is pretty light, It has the exact requirements of Froyo.
It will not run slow, there are custom roms that prove that.
HTC is just forcing you to buy a new phone.
I think I'll go Samsung next time.
From my expirence with samsung - DONT!! My tab has had no updates, is laggy (as all other galaxy s devices are) I would reccomend a higher end htc

I wouldn't. They are all shipping with locked bootloaders now - ala SE. So, if you wish to have stuff like Root and Custom ROM's, not good at all.

+1 on samsung. I myself am thinking of getting a Galaxy Ace. Rooted my friend's ace yesterday - it was so easy! Just psneuter (superoneclick) is enough - and you have full system r/w access. Trying to get CWM running on it now
Actually, a lot of the new SE phones are supposed to ship with unlockable bootloaders. As far as I know, anyway. Neo, Arc and Play, at least. These seem to be fairly high-end.
Just wondering whether they will back out soon like they did with PS3's OtherOS option.

Hello all. Let me first state what I've done first.
I had the new hboot so what I did was to use alpharevx and s-off first and installed CM 7.03. But I had some issues and some things that I did not like.
I don't want to list my issues. Anyhow, so what I wanted was to install the stock Rom/sense based custom ROMs. That I did. But whichever ROM I installed, including Wildpuzzle, DK and the stock, all missed HTC scenes and wallpapers. Not that I care much about them, but that brings the question, if these are missing, what else could be missing?
I've used CWR 2.x to flash these ROMs and I did all the wipes before installing them.
I've seen some others having this issue as well. Anybody has a workaround?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
No, seems to be some issue with AlphaRev X and Sense ROM's. Only OLD WildPuzzle is working, AFAIK.
@3xeno were could i find the old WildPuzzle rom?
Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761927
Remember though, it's built on the CN Froyo ROM. Don't expect as polished an experience as on others.
Anyone knows what happened with wallpapers?
I don't think so, in my opinion it is still very unclear how an s-off bootloader can have an effect in copying files from a zip.
Perhaps someone that ancounters that problem can post a log from CWM?
it is alpharev hboot problem. revert back to stock hboot and make a factory data reset in settings/sd & phone storage menu.

Can you elaborate how? Many want to do this.
Can anyone who used xtc clip alone to S-OFF wildfire confirm some things (whether this issue is there or not).

Hello. I am having a large amount of difficulty rooting my phone. I hate these slow phones and I want to be able to overclock the CPU. Trouble is that I can't physically root the phone. Can anyone out there help me out?
And also, i thought that I would like to try CyanogenMod 7.0.3 for my Wildfire. I have the Clockwork Mod app to switch ROMs and a copy of the CyanogenMod ROM itself, but I don't know how to get the S-OFF on HBOOT to be able to flash it. Specs are below. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

Refer this page:

Few more things:
- Try to get a latest nightly rather than 7.0.3. Its far better, and as stable as 7.0.3
- Do NOT (Repeat - NOT) forget to take a Nandroid backup in Clockworkmod just after getting S-OFF and Root (i.e. before installing Cyanogenmid) to prevent situations like these
Good Luck
Thanks. I'll see if this works

The official update is for the end of this month?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
maybe released tomorrow during their conference
this an amazing update by HTC it really transforms the whole phone, their only one bug I could find which is the badly rendered friends stream widget, and one pixel misalignment in the music sound enhancement, but really amazing work from HTC the new gallery rendering is super clean and smooth, the new lockscreen is really something, i hope they pattened it before Apple steals it
It will remove ENG S-OFF, but it will not touch Radio S-OFF. If somebody wants to try that RUU, it is recommended to have Radio S-OFF because then it is easy to go back to another ROM.

Just today i had installed the leaked PD98IMG file of the 3.06.405.2 firmware.
Beforehand i had installed the official 2.50.405.1 RUU and then I installed the upgrade by the recovery.
Well, I was very surprised to find out it was rooted and it still had s-off.
Does anybdy know if installing this RUU I would lose root and s-off?
Sense 3.0? HTC are awesome if they're bringing this to the HD officially
So can I flash this on unrooted device

I suppose so. Let us know of it works. I would gladly do it of not for the fact that I have already installed this ROM by PD98IMG through recovery.
I wonder if there are differences...

the only issue i have with it is that the picture on the RUU is of a tablet!? dont really fancy bricking my phone
i was more looking if this was easy way to upgrate /downgrade to gain root access. I really was scared to make the gold card etc...
So if some one had flashed the RUU wanted to see if that worked , especially when they were not rooted
I wanted to see if any one got pass the signature check, this failed for with Signature error.

Once you've unlocked the Legend download and run the HTC Supertool V3 from your machine, select option 1 then option 3 and you'll be permanently rooted, then you can install rom manager and deploy whatever rom you want.
So, if I vaguely recall correctly,...
This basically means we won't need the gold-card trick anymore.
I use my Legend for app testing, both CM7 and Blayo ROM as a proxy for stock. I avoid real stock ROMs because they tend to be a pain to re-root etc.
So perhaps I can try real stock ROMs and be able to switch back that much easier...

nope... just the unlock bootloader... but you can use most of the S-OFF function.
with this you can flash your recovery part of your phone and also have system writes.

Well, we don't know that as of yet (that's still a big mistery to us) but I can assure you that one who would find that out would most certainly be elected as president of the Internetz.

Yes, option 1 and 3, gets you root.
